I'm after a radio scanner, manly to listen to fesa and the water bombers and wondered if the following will receive the frequencies
UNIDEN 72XLT VHF/UHF Scanner link: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.store ... View/D2764
UNIDEN 92XLT VHF/UHF Handheld Scanner link: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.store ... View/D2765
Some to the frequencies I would like to reach included channels 23 and 50 in the link below:

I also wondered how far can I be from the signal to receive it
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated [-o<

Re: Which would be the right scanner
Both would be fine.I think fesa have 100 frequancys.So the more frequancys the better.If you want better reception it helps to get an outside antenna.Or stand on your roof. I have an arial on my 2 story roof and i can get Mandurah,Lancerlin,Northam from central Perth area.

Re: Which would be the right scanner
Look at http://www.prestigecom.net.au/index.php ... cts_id=714
and http://www.prestigecom.net.au/index.php ... cts_id=715
I suspect all three models have pretty much the same sensitivity etc, so you probably need to consider price mainly.
Both these are on special according to Prestige. They all cover the WAERN frequencies and air band as well as commercial UHF.

Re: Which would be the right scanner
72 and 92 are the older model so if you can get the 73 or 93 XLT's both are good, the only difference is the number of channels.

Thanks Everyone for your help =D>
Going to get one soon, probably 93 XLT. I wasn't too sure which was which and what they did

Re: Which would be the right scanner
The 92/93XLT also does the 800MHz Band. Not that there is much up that way, but it depends what you are interested in.
